    @HR-wd6cw 2 года назад +13

    The red light on those headlamps is for vision purposes. Your eyes take longer to re-adjust to night time when you use a regular (non-red) bulb, whereas with a red-bulb your eyes re-adjust (after using the light) much faster, that's the primary reason some have red lights (people will use the headlights for hiking or working at night, and may want to maintain their "night" vision -- such as photographers photographing at night). You can find all sorts of brands that have those lights in a headlight form (I bought a Bushnell version for $20 at Walmart). Still have it now 3 years later and it still works great.

      Except for Honda struts..which have double lip seals....the single lip seals can be refilled with nitrogen gas...for peanuts.
      You just have to know the pressure to which you need to pressurise them for the lift required.
      The struts are placed inside a tube, the tube pressurised with nitrogen..which goes into the strut past the one-way seals...but the seal then stops the nitrogen coming back out.
      Depressurise the filling tube...
      take out the now repressurised gas strut...
      reinstall and the strut works for another few years until the nitrogen again has very slowly leaked out....

    The hood latch/strut clamp is my favourite. The rear door on the Pulsar hatch has clouted me on the head more times I can remember but with the car being so old (1998) I don’t really want to shell out for new struts. I’ve got to say the other products were pretty impressive too.

      @@elfpimp1 it's honestly perfect for EDC- and that's a high bar for myself. I've used 5.11 forever, their duty pants (I'm a fire-medic & work TCCC for regional SWAT/CERT/etc) and my everyday wear are 5.11 tac pants w/Kore belt. It's not TOO stiff (as most duty belts tend to be) and comparatively low profile in comparison to most carry belts- able to move/get out of vehicles, etc without feeling/looking like you've got a "Batman utility belt" propping you up.
      I'd (& many officers and former USCG S&R Medics from my unit) absolutely recommend for officers/any EDC civvie who carries IWB or OWB.

    While the hood strut clamp is a great invention, you can get a lot of replacement struts for $10-20 a piece on eBay. I've replaced a few.

      Except for Honda struts..which have double lip seals....the single lip seals can be refilled with nitrogen gas...for peanuts.
      You just have to know the pressure to which you need to pressurise them for the lift required.
      The struts are placed inside a tube, the tube pressurised with nitrogen..which goes into the strut past the one-way seals...but the seal then stops the nitrogen coming back out.
      Depressurise the filling tube...
      take out the now repressurised gas strut...
      reinstall and the strut works for another few years until the nitrogen again has very slowly leaked out....

    A headlamp is a must for any break-down kit. It leaves my hands free for night time repairs, such as changing tyres or swapping out a blown headlight bulb.
    I've been using a couple of very similar belts for years. You're right, they do last a very long time. The only downfall is they are so tough that experience tells me they can easily wear a hole through car seat covers.

      Considering the hood stay is a permanent fix for a broken part, that's pretty affordable. Also, that's the price you pay when parts are made in America.
      As for the belt, it's a life time belt. You buy it once, and that's it. They're not made to break so you have to keep buying more and more. Also I'm assuming it's also made in America.
